A Levittown man with a criminal past and talent for cutting hair was sentenced to prison Monday.

Wallace suggested Webb could serve his sentence in a therapeutic community.

Shortly before being sentenced, Webb, a popular barber who worked in Levittown, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and several less seriousย offenses.

According to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office:

The victim told police that she was driving east on Street Road when Webb intentionally swerved his Saturn sedan into her Kia sedan. The vehicles continued several more blocks and were stopped at Street and State Roads when Webb got out of his car with a crowbar in hand.

He struck the womanโ€™s front windshield and driverโ€™s side window with the crowbar, shattering the glass and showering her with shards. The woman suffered minor cuts to her left arm, left hand and face.

The victim told police that she and Webb had an ongoing dispute involving a female friend of hers whom Webb briefly had dated.

Aside from the May assault incident that Webb was sentenced for Monday, he pleaded guilty to charges ofย including fleeing or eluding a law enforcement officer, recklessly endangering another person, and possession of a controlled substance in September. In that incident, Webb was accused of fleeing from Bristol Borough police and speeding through Bristol Township before being caught in Bensalem. He was found withย methamphetamine and Oxycontin on him at the time.

Webb, according toย Deputy District Attorney Antonetta Stancu, had a history of burglary and drug dealing tracing back to his youth.

โ€œI wasnโ€™t in my right state of mind,โ€ Webbย said of his crimes. โ€œI was high on drugs.โ€

During the May assault, Webb was on federal supervision for previousย drug and counterfeiting convictions while awaiting trial for the Bristol case, a statement from the district attorney’s office said.

Webb was ordered by the judge to pay the assault victim $504 in restitution.
